Hi Hemant.

Add this to your code:

p {
color: #000;
}

Hexidecimal values are explained in the video and throughout the course. Basically the first 2 values are red, the second 3 green and the last 2 blue. You can make pretty much every other colour with them.

0 is the lowest and F is the highest value, so #000000 would be all black, like #FF0000 would be all red. When you have all the same values, like in #000000 you can shorthand it to #000.
